Historic Federal Investment Fuels Job Creation and Health Equity in South Los Angeles

“I’m proud to celebrate this $20 million grant for organizations doing the groundwork to advance environmental justice here in South Los Angeles,” said Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove. “South LA All In, led by the Coalition for Responsible Community Development, recognizes that we can rid our communities of environmental contamination while creating economic opportunity. This grant will both expand our climate workforce and fund efforts to remove lead paint from homes in South LA—a problem impacting 80% of our city’s housing but disproportionately Black and Brown communities. I look forward to hearing about the progress and the lives changed by this historic investment in communities that have too often been left behind.”
